What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Vodochody Airport (LKVO (VOD)) primarily operates as a private general aviation airport and serves as the home for Aero Vodochody, a Czech aerospace company. Consequently, comprehensive traveler reviews and experiences typically associated with commercial passenger airports, such as extensive terminal facilities, security wait times for public flights, or customs experiences, are largely unavailable. Recent feedback and developments at the airport focus on enhancing services for its current clientele, which includes private aviation, flight training, and business aviation.

What Travelers Love

Strategic Location: The airport is noted for its advantageous location, being only approximately 15 minutes from Prague, making it ideal for business aviation clients.
New Passenger and Crew Facilities: In August (prior to December 2025), the airport opened modern facilities including a passenger lounge, a rest room, and a briefing room for crews, enhancing comfort for private clients awaiting flights or transfers.
Efficient Handling: For its business aviation clientele, Vodochody Airport prides itself on fast, discreet, and efficient handling of both aircraft and passengers.
Parking Options (General Airport Parking): Some off-airport parking services, often catering to passengers flying from the broader Prague area, have received positive reviews for their affordable rates, trouble-free contact, reliable transport, and helpful staff.

Common Complaints

Limited Commercial Passenger Services: As a private international airport, Vodochody does not currently offer the full range of commercial passenger flights, amenities, and extensive terminal facilities (like numerous shops or restaurants) found at major public airports.
Parking Service Inconsistencies (General Airport Parking): Some travelers utilizing off-airport parking services experienced long wait times for airport transfers, poor staff behavior, and inconvenient drop-offs at parking lots, forcing them to locate their vehicles in the dark.
Delayed Commercial Expansion: Plans for Vodochody Airport to expand into a larger commercial airport, specifically for low-cost and charter carriers with a new terminal capable of handling millions of passengers, have faced opposition from neighboring villages and are still undergoing approval processes, indicating delays in its transformation into a major passenger hub.

Vodochody Airport currently excels in its niche as a private and general aviation hub, offering dedicated services and recently upgraded facilities for its specific clientele of pilots and private passengers. While it harbors long-term ambitions to serve commercial passenger traffic, this expansion is still in development, meaning it does not yet provide the typical passenger experience of a commercial airport. Travelers seeking commercial flights from Prague should continue to use Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG).
